Indicated hookload adds only the entered traveling-assembly tare. User-entered limits change margins, never the calculated profiles.

Buoyancy basis

Mode

Selected buoyancy factor: 0.816826

Boundary loads and tare

Positive axial force is tension; negative is compression. Tare is separate from every downhole force profile.

Minimum-curvature survey

MD increases from the declared top reference. No uncertainty or tortuosity smoothing is inferred.

String tally — bit upward

Lengths must sum to bit MD. Effective contact OD remains explicit.

Wellbore intervals — top downward

Calculation observations

SOFT_STRING_ONLY

Results use a quasi-static soft-string model; stiffness, buckling, dynamics, hydraulics, and marine-riser structural effects are excluded.

SOFT_STRING_COMPRESSION_LIMITATION

Negative axial force is reported as a soft-string compression observation, not a buckling or reach approval.

Operational use warning: verify survey quality, tally, effective contact OD, interval coverage, buoyancy and friction basis, measurement reference, limits, equipment ratings, and approved program. This soft-string worksheet does not authorize rotation, sliding, tripping, backreaming, or overpull.
